Since the ends of the shadows are in line with the tops of the respective objects and the sun, the lengths of their shadows are proportional. Multiply the shadow ratio by the height of the yardstick (yh) to get the height of the flagpole. Since the measurements are in feet, the yardstick height is 3 feet
